Day 5
– From Drysdale Station, we take
a 2 hour scenic flight viewing Mt Hann, Deep Gorge and the
Rift, then over the magnificent Prince Regent Nature Reserve.
We follow the Prince Regent River, fly over numerous unnamed
waterfalls, King Cascades, St George Basin, Mt Trafalgar,
Prince Frederick Harbour, the Hunter River, Donkins Hill Falls
and the spectacular Mitchell Falls. The vast beautiful unspoilt
coastline of the wilderness nature reserve is always a heart winner.
You may even be lucky enough see crocodiles, dugong and whales. This is
a flight over the most remote wilderness area in the world. This is the
best way to see this country from the air, the rugged landscape with
untouched coastline and tumbling waterfalls will stay in your memory
forever. On return we travel south on the Gibb River Rd to cool off at
Barnett River Gorge, cross the Gibb and Manning Rivers to Mt Barnett.

Day 6
– Enjoy an easy access early morning walk along
Annie Creek if you choose, before our spectacular 4WD journey to either
nearby gorge. Dimond Gorge is beautiful. Majestic geological formations
area a highlight and the view from the
lookout at Dimond Gorge is very special. The drive to Sir John Gorge
takes you through undulating savannah formed over the millennia from
the erosion of the Leopold Sandstones and the breakdown of volcanic
ridges. It is a 1 hour drive (14km). The destinations itself is a
massive thoroughfare of the Fitzroy River that started to carve its way
through the sandstone while life on earth was still in its infancy.
Mornington Sanctuary covers more than 3,000 km2 of spectacular gorges
and tropical savannah dominated by the Fitzroy River and King Leopold
Ranges. Owned and managed by the non-profit Australian Wildlife
Conservancy. Our wilderness camp base is a naturalist’s paradise,
providing refuge for over 200 species of birds and a diverse range of
other wildlife. All proceeds from the Wilderness Camp are dedicated to
the conservation of wildlife in the Kimberley. After lunch, we travel on via Imitji Aboriginal
community before an afternoon walk in Windjana Gorge
with the abundant wildlife and
numerous freshwater crocodiles in this eerie, ancient seabed
environment. Overnight Windjana
Gorge. BLD

morning walk in Windjana Gorge before we travel
the scenic and short distance to nearby Tunnel
Creek, where we walk through this 600 m
long underground river system to a hidden waterhole. Our day includes a
tasty picnic lunch and optional swim in the waterhole before we call in
to the new Mowanjum Art Centre (meet the artists,
opportunity to buy art from source) at the Mowanjum Aboriginal
